it really depends on your skill level, how good the games are, how deep the games are, etc...
RR 2/5 is pretty deep and these days a lot of people buy in for 1k+ and really don't know how to play deep.. This skyrockets your win rate if you know how to properly exploit your opponents.. I think the cap at 2/5 is like $70-100/hr, and when 5/10 runs it's much higher since it's 1k-5k.. Those are rare now though, and only run if there's a reason.
RR 2/5 is like LA 5/10, in terms of buyin similarities... 5/10 at RR is slightly smaller than 10/20 elsewhere. Just camp and wait for the rich Asians to come in! Hahaha.. but if you're good you can abuse all the regs and make money off them too.. Honestly you can probably teach a monkey to beat 2/5, it's pretty simple.
To be successful in poker you need to have strong logic, unbiased decision making / perspectives, patience (especially for live poker), and discipline (bank roll management, work hours, etc..) Master all those and you can crush like 95% of live games
